Tulips

Posted by Melissa W. (Warsaw, Indiana, United States) on 17 March 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Since Spring isn't here in Indiana just yet, I decided to cheat. ;) I visited the Botanical Conservatory in Fort Wayne on Thursday. It was wonderful to see some real flowers for a change.

@Edward James: Thank you. I even had to de-sat the red a bit cause it was too bright.
Thanks again. :)

Another beauty, Melissa. That lens of your's is like butter…smoooooooth. Of course, the photographer has a little something to do with it , as well.

@Ron: Ron, you seriously crack me up...it has to be the lens. ;)
Thanks for putting a smile on my face...and the chuckle.

Isn't that why there are botanical gardens? ;) I'm just repeating everyone, but the color, composition and DOF are very well handled. I like the depth the image has.
